General Cargo Ship VON FEEDER Detained in Szczecin

The general cargo/multipurpose vessel VON FEEDER (IMO 9195391) was detained by Port State Control authorities in Szczecin following an inspection carried out on 20 Feb 2026. The inspection, conducted under the Paris MoU regime, identified 19 deficiencies in total, of which 6 were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the ship in port. The VON FEEDER is a 2,311 gross tonnage vessel flying the flag of the Faroe Islands (FO). Its ISM Company is listed as Sandgrevstur P/F, which holds responsibility for the vessel's safety management system under the International Safety Management Code. Under the Paris MoU framework, vessels are detained when deficiencies found during inspection are serious enough to pose a risk to the safety, health of crew, or the environment, or when they indicate non-compliance with international conventions. The number of detainable deficiencies identified on the VON FEEDER points to significant shortcomings requiring rectification before the vessel is permitted to resume operations. The vessel will remain in detention at Szczecin until the identified deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of Port State Control inspectors and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance, allowing the ship to be released to continue its voyage.
